THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT FOR THE BLIND AND VISION IMPAIRED provides services to legally blind persons of all ages throughout Virginia, as well as to some persons not legally blind but whose visual problems are progressive or of such magnitude that the specialized services of the Department are needed to assist them to achieve their maximum potentials. All such persons should be referred to the Agency for evaluation for services.
The Code of Virginia Section 63.1-71 directs the Virginia Department for Blind and Vision Impaired to: “prepare and maintain a complete REGISTER OF THE BLIND in the State, which shall describe the condition, case of blindness, capacity for educational and industrial training of each, and such other facts as the Department deems of value. Each physician, optometrist, or other person who, upon examination of the eyes of any person, determines that such person is a blind person as defined in Section 63.1-142, shall immediately report the name and address of such person to the Department.”
The Code of Virginia Section 63.1-142 states, “blind person means a person having not better than 20/200 central visual acuity in the better eye measured at twenty feet with correcting lenses; or having visual acuity greater than 20/200 but with the widest diameter of the visual field in the better eye subtending an angle of no greater than 20 degrees measured at a distance of 33 centimeters using a 3 millimeter white test object, or a Goldman III-4e target, or other equivalent equipment. Such blindness shall be certified by a duly licensed physician or optometrist.”
